BUTTER TOFFEE
This "Butter Toffee"has to be one of the easiest candies ever. 4 ingredients and SUPER DELICIOUS! Sweet, crunchy, buttery and chocolatey. I've been making this recipe for 20 years and counting. It just screams Christmas and it's great for gift giving! I guess, if you wanted, you could use almonds and call it Almond Roca, I've just always made it with pecans, man. I have used different chocolate though, chips work great. Next time I may have to make it with some dark chocolate, like Ghirardelli. Yum.

INGREDIENTS:
Butter a 9x9 baking dish or that size on a baking sheet and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans. Melt the butter in a large saucepan; add sugar and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to 290*, or if you don't have a candy thermometer, soft boil for 12 minutes. Pour over the nuts, spread out in a sheet to cover. When set but still warm put the chocolate bars on top and spread as chocolate melts. Sprinkle on remaining nuts. Cut or break into small squares.
